Here’s the deal. Republicans decried the fact that the reason they lost the last two POTUS elections (2008/2012) because the “tent” wasn’t big enough. They also “said” we need to be more inclusive and so we can expand the tent. Guess what? Trump has turned out the voters in spite of the fact that he was (and is) up against the Republican party, the media, and 17 other “contenders.” Is that not showing results? That’s the difference between Trump and GOPe. RESULTS! Not only that but he”s wrapped up the nomination, e.g. he has no one left to run against. Can you say seismic shift? Come on!
To your comment regarding Reagan not turning off a massive part of his party, the actual numbers of primary voters don’t lie. He has mobilized a monster. The Republicans in congress need to wake the “F” up and realize what a bird nest on the ground they have. To do anything less, at this point, can only mean one thing. It’s not about winning. It’s about control! Because Trump is not “their guy” they reject his candidacy for fear they won’t be able to manipulate him, or whatever. The thing they should fear is their future ability to keep their “jobs.”
It’s a different game now and they only have themselves to blame. Throw away the old playbook! If you want the job, do the job!!
Yes, good comments. I agree with you.
